The Bank of America Charitable Foundation’s Student Leaders® Program is accepting applications for the 2012 program.  In recognition of your commitment to young people, we are asking for your help to spread the word about this exciting leadership opportunity.

As part of the company’s lending, investing and giving to strengthen the communities we serve, the Bank of America Student Leaders® Program has recognized more than 1,600 exemplary high school juniors and seniors with a passion for improving their communities.  The program helps students gain a greater understanding of how nonprofits create impact in the community and develops them as the next generation of community leaders through two components:

 ·         A summer 2012 eight-week paid summer internship with selected nonprofit organizations designed to provide  opportunities for the students to develop and apply leadership skills through hands-on work experience, while raising their awareness of community issues addressed by their host organization. 

·         A week-long all-expense paid Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., July 15-20, 2012. Conducted in partnership with the Close Up Foundation, the Summit introduces students to aspects of civic, social and business leadership and provides them with knowledge and skills they will use throughout their life to create positive community change.

 The application deadline is January 25, 2012.

 We have posters available to help spread the word to the young people you serve, contact us and we will send them to you.
